Trivia

Goofs

Keanu Reeves states: "I packed for St. Petersburg." Meaning that he packed for warm weather. St. Petersburg Russia is slightly farther north than Juneau Alaska so if it is winter in Siberia it would most certainly also be winter in St. Petersburg (the average January temperature in St. Pete. is 22F) so the St. Petersburg scenes were very obviously filmed in summer (the trees are fully leafed out).
